Freezer Cryoed Cables...

Audiobugged, it could be worse. Your CDs could sound frigid and Diana Krall could smell fishy.

That would suck.

Wellfed, my friend did his system about two months ago, so this freezer tweak lasts for two months and the effect is about the same. I don't know how long the effect will last, only time will tell how long the effect will last. But the best part is, it don't COST you anything to do it again when needed!!!...........Richard

Thanks Richard, keep us posted.

Why is this any sillier than:

- Pacing half-cut rubber balls under equipment;
- Painting CD edges green;
- Brass cones that drain energy (only brass - nothing else);
- $3,000 power cords;
- Cable cooking;

I'm sure there are other things to list that on their face sound ridiculous. But some people swear by them. So what? We can all sound off on technical reasons why THIS particular situation in untenable, but remember: most things that we find that work are often scoffed by electrical engineers and the like. And maybe they're right - what if what we hear is plausibly explained by psychiatrists than engineers/scientists? Perish the thought.

Treljia, get in all the listening you can before your head warms up, when it returns to room temperature all the benefits will be lost!

Now, the CD freezer thing is something I'd be willing to try. I stand to lose only 15 bucks if this doesn't work or my disc takes ona permanent fishy odor.

It also makes sense that since the temperature of a freezer can't even close to the molecular restructuring a cryo chamber can accomplish that the Frigid-Aire method would only be temporary.

Rpatrick, sorry for piling on the jokes, but look at it from our point of view. You've only been posting here for a month, and you don't have a virtual system to view, so we don't know if you're freezing Rat Shack cables or Nordost Valhallas. So when someone new comes in here telling us to put expensive gear in the freezer next to the Hungry Man Dinner, we're gonna wonder.

I'll give the CDs a try though.

Buscis2, Audiobugged really likes the fishy stuff, heheh.

Sherod, I've been hearing about musicians cryoing stuff for years, so there must be something there. Are you gonna send your wife's Alvarez out for deep immersion? LOL. How've you been?!
